Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh is killed in Iran by an alleged Israeli strike, threatening escalation

Hamas is known to have redundancies in place for cases like this. What is the goal of this? It seems like this is just going to create a Martyr, and won't materially benefit Israel, just sour peace talks (unless that's their aim).
I think the goal is to provoke a war with Iran. Netanyahu just got back from US where he presumably got the green light for it.
Would make sense, sadly. We will see.
That sounds like a terrible decision to make considering 50% of Israelis live in the 30 most populated cities, cities which are all clustered together and very bombable... then again, I don't think jets from the late 70s would fare well against Israel's very modern air defenses. An ancient F-14 or a MiG-29 would probably spontaneously collapse at the sight of a Patriot SAM operated by Israel.
They haven't been behaving rationally for some time.
Depends on what's considered "rational." They've been successful as a genocidal settler-colonial ethnostate, but I think they are getting increasingly desparate as the international community notices their cracking mask.
He was suing for a ceasefire. Can't have that.
